Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., says in a new documentary of his life that he is thankful for the life he’s lived.

“The American people don’t hold Washington and the people who work there in very high esteem. We need to make sure that we give the American people what they deserve, and right now they’re not getting it,” McCain said in an interview for “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” named for the Ernest Hemingway novel which McCain still lists as his favorite.
